In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business & Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham, continues the discussion about The Thought Leader Platform so that you can move from idea to thought leader as he explores the ways to get qualified leads and relevant content:

Qualified Leads

Here are the 3 primary ways to get to the people that need what you have, and are willing and able to buy it:

Bought: You can run ads on several platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Google and display ads. To find yourself in front of the demographics that need what you have to offer, you can pay for ads or even pay to get on a stage.

Borrowed: There are people out there who have the attention of the audience that you want to attract. You can create a triple win situation as you partner with them, and serve them and their audience. You get to borrow their market but remember that you have to give first to get an opportunity like this.

Brought: You can organically bring in qualified leads by creating and sharing your free content out there. You can create podcasts, YouTube videos, Facebook posts and blog articles that are able to grab the attention of the audience and bring them home to your site so that they consume your information.

Relevant Content

There are 3 ways you can make your content relevant:

Simple: When your content is complex, only a few will get it and they will classify it as irrelevant. So, your content needs to be simple.

Understandable: People need to understand what you create in such a way that they can explain it to others. If it is not the case, they will back off of it.

Actionable: Your audience needs to be able to go out there and complete the steps. They need to be able to actually follow your solution. So, it should be actionable.

Your solution needs to solve the problem that they have and in the process, you should create aspirational change and elevate things to a higher level.

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business & Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham, talks about how you can go from idea to thought leader and create the path of impact through positioning. In the infopreneur space, you need some really distinct, unique and impactful content to shift people's behaviors by changing their thinking. It is important because to be considered a thought leader, you have to take unique actions that impacts society, community and individuals.

If we don’t get it right, we are lost in the weeds and no one will see us. We also won’t have any impact and ultimately, there won’t be a future for us. But if we get it right, we are able to stand out. You are going to be known for what you know and your content will be perceived as high value. People will stand and take notice of you.

So the key things you must follow to move from idea to thought leader are:

Get clear about what you know and think.

Get out there with your ideas.

Get good at it as you need to sharpen your skills for the market.

The Thought Leader Platform

It deals with different levels that allows you to shift from idea to thought leader.

Qualified Leads: Defining and then finding yourself qualified leads.

Relevant Content: Create content that resonates for your audience and is able to have an impact.

Leverage Knowledge: Thought leaders should be able to sell what they know. It is about using your knowledge to impact the masses.

Noticeable Distinction: Letting the market know who you are by standing out distinctly from the crowd. When your topic comes up, you also must come up out there.

To entice and attract leads, you can follow this model. Even though qualified leads is at the base level, you can start out with creating relevant content and as a result of that, you get qualified leads. Then you can move up in this framework to leveraging knowledge and creating a noticeable distinction.

About Anthony Trucks

Anthony Trucks went from a foster care to the NFL to becoming an entrepreneur, coach, international speaker, author and consultant with numerous successful businesses. He teaches entrepreneurs what it means to trust your hustle and to get out of your own way to attain success in your business and your life and no one in the world does it quite like him.

An incredible father of three children, he travels around the world to literally use football or use entrepreneurship and his story to help youth see possibility and a different way of living life. He gets it that all of this isn’t just about acquiring, accomplishing and achieving but it’s also about giving back.

THE ENTREPRENEUR'S SOLUTION

The

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business & Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham, talks about how you can create unity as you bring people together in a situation. In whatever you do, chaos is always around the corner and to deal with that we should create a unified front or a unified body while moving forward. If you don't get it right, you will have lone wolves and they don't go in the same direction. So, the entire focus is directionless and ultimately you end up with dysfunction.

If we get it right, you will feel supported in the journey, you will have a group of people with targeted focus and ultimately you end up with a team that is committed to fight side by side for the commonality of the goal. Hence, what you need to know is acceptance is the baseline, it is also important to create alignment in values & intent and finally, there is agreement on the opinion and steps.

The Unity Formula

Acceptance: At the base level, we need to build acceptance. The team needs to accept the vision, direction, decision and process.

Alignment: Create alignment to take your team to a place where they trust you. There needs to be an atmosphere of articulation where they have the ability to communicate as you provide them with access and openness.

Agreement: When the trust level is high, what ends up happening is that there will be agreement in opinions, strategies and tactics.

These are the steps to move from acceptance to agreement:

Understand and acknowledge the awareness of the levels of acceptance.

Come together and articulate the values, vision, strategy and process.

Allow a safe place for dissent where people can have a conversation that is meaningful and it gives them the ability to co-create.

Listen, reflect and consider everyone in the process.

In the end, we make a decision and ask everyone for agreement.

After you follow these steps, you have created unity where everyone agrees because they had a voice and were a part of the co-creation.

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business & Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham, talks about building alignment with our team, in our relationships and everything else so that we move in the right direction toward better results.

If we are not aligned, people will have no direction and will get lost in the way. When you try to move forward, it results in little progress and there will be constant resistance in every step of the way. But if we are able to build alignment with our people and teams, there will be a clarity of direction and everyone will move in a united sequence. You will actually be able to make great leaps forward and you end up with results that flow.

To put this together, access is required for people with whom you want to be in alignment with. There should also be an atmosphere of articulation that allows them to communicate openly. Finally, you should also create an ally relationship where there is trust between you and your parties.

To tie up the 3 principles of access, articulation and allies together, the following comes into play:

The Alignment Navigator

The 3 keys to get alignment and better results:

Access: The ability to walk in and have a dialogue.

Articulate: To have an atmosphere of open communication.

Ally: To create a connected feeling with the people that you communicate with.

Rhythm: You need to create an environment that is based on rhythm. It means that when someone knocks on your door, they are not there because there’s a problem but they are there because they have that access and the ability to articulate.

Trust: We need to build trust which comes from the rhythm that we create by allowing a good flow of communication. Trust is gained when people are not ridiculed, ostracized or criticized. We achieve it by being open, honest and tolerant.

Supported: Ultimately, you have a group of people that feel supported. It doesn’t mean that everyone is in unanimous agreement but they feel heard and supported.

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham, talks about the 4 stages of leadership progression and what it takes to shift and create movements while leading from behind as a thought leader. Without elevating yourself to the highest level of leadership, things get messy and don’t turn out the way you want them to. If you are not good at leadership, you will find yourself in a solitary pursuit and your pace of movement will not be inertia-full.

However, when you understand the key principles of leadership, you are going to build momentum in which things move at an accelerating pace. You also end up with a bigger vision to look at things differently and people will march with you as champions and cheerleaders. So, what you need to know about it is that good leadership is empathy based, you come at it from a communication perspective and service is the fuel as it comes from a place of serving.The Leadership Progression Model

There are 4 levels of leadership that create influence and change in people. All of them are phenomenal and as you move up this model, the level of influence increases.Tasker: They are the doers who do the heavy lifting part. They operate from to do lists and check off the tasks from it. Taskers are focused on completion of tasks.Manager: They focus on delegating the duty to the taskers and they are in fact driven by processes and systems. They manage those to get an outcome. The result that they look for is consistency.Leader: They are there to create a bigger vision for people to see and get behind as they are the role models. They focus on evolutionary change which allows things to move positively and grow.Thought Leader: They have elements of all the other levels of leadership and they focus on thinking. They are the thinkers who want to create a movement and people will rally for it. A thought leader creates revolutionary change by shifting the thought process and behavior.
